Speaker Interview

I’ve been building fully-managed Postgres services in one way or
another for seven years. First at Heroku, and currently at Citus Data.
I’ll be visiting Paris from San Francisco.

Have you enjoyed previous pgDay Paris
conferences, either as attendee or as speaker?

I’ve neither been to pgDay Paris before nor to the city for which
it’s named. Very much looking forward to it!

What will your talk be about, exactly? Why this topic?

My second favorite PG set of features constraints and how datatypes
can serve as constraints. Having the database be very strict is very
freeing when writing applications, because you can trust that several
classes of bad data is rejected early on.

My favorite feature will not be covered in this talk.
\watch in psql.

What is the audience for your talk?

People who write applications that use postgres as their database.

What existing knowledge should the attendee have?

Not a whole lot, just some familiarity with creating and altering
tables.
